[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 40765, member: 34"] Brent There are "usually" differances between the factory and custom guns as per accuracy. The customs "should" but, not always, do better from the bench "and" from a bipod. Shooting from a bench with proper fitting front and rear rests will give the "true potential" of the rifle to begin with (in most cases) and that's where I like to start. The exception to the custom and factory rifle debate goes on and on as I have seen the Sendaros and 40Xs do every bit as good as many light tactical type customs have done. That's why I mentioned 1 MOA minimum for the entire range you intend on shooting and this is for the custom "or" top of the line factory rifles. As Boyd mentioned, he has seen groups fired from factory guns that are as good or better then some posted here by customs and this is a true statement. I have to and the Sendaro that Walt Bryan shot at Williamsport in the early years was an example. The 40X 300 Win mag I owned would also do it off a bipod. As mentioned, in either case, the groups will usually be less then 1MOA if you only shoot 3 shots and this is with "either" the custom of good shooting factory rifle. I think if we concentrate on just keeping the groups inside of the kill zone area of the game we are after consistantly, and at the range we intend on killing at, is the "most" important factor. Again the 1 MOA limitation comes into play here. We are NOT trying to break a paper World Record here and fire 5 or 10 shots to achieve it. If we are trying to do that, most certainly a custom built for benchrest is the order of the day and "not" a tactical or factory would be considered at all. We must all remember, the smaller the group your rifle shoots the better off you will be regardless if it's a custom or top of the line factory. Practice knowing the potential of your rifle and shooting it all year is the key to making the kills at longrange. Later DC [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
